Thank you for answering! And thank you for posting such a varied selection of art here so consistently!

Your answer was exactly what I was looking for, confirmation that I'm not missing something obvious.

After looking at it for a while, I'd say what this looks like to me is the view you'd get from a darkened doorway (or window) and seeing a glimpse of a sunset/sunrise over distant mountains. All covered up in an unconventional semi-pointillist technique (that apparently was pretty pervasive in her work, I'm learning) and lack of details.

That kind of scene would evoke a feeling of wanderlust mixed with either regret or anticipation (sunset/sunrise). But it's all very vague and full of alternatives.

I think that the comparison of abstract art to classical art is sort of like comparing quantum physics to classical physics. Not in the difficulty rating though; classical art is incomparably more difficult to get right.

Whereas classical art & physics deal with crisp, clear representations that delight in trying to be as precise as they can be, abstract art, like the physics, describes fields of probabilities and multiple paths/interpretations that overlap and interplay. Abstract art doesn't want us to admire a thing, but a hopefully cleverly crafted cloud of possible 'things' it could be suggesting at once using just a few vague strokes.

The viewer could collapse their own personal waveform on one interpretation but I think you're right, we're supposed to admire the fog, not try to see through it.
